School Day Games and Summer Games Bring Special Olympics to Students In Massachusetts

Bank of America has been a partner with Special Olympics Massachusetts (SOMA) for more than ten years to help them in encouraging acceptance and inclusion for all citizens of the Commonwealth. The bank's involvement goes beyond sports competitions, and addresses the fundamental issues of acceptance, inclusion and respect for the disabled community.



Bank of America has partnered with SOMA on two annual events: School Day Games and Summer Games. The spring games are held in the city of Boston. School Day Games offer sporting activities to more than 350 students in Boston and Brockton and more than 400 students from Attleboro and Mashpee. At School Day Games events, students participate in the traditional Opening Ceremony and compete in at least three sports and receive an award for their efforts at an end-of-season ceremony.



In June, the games are held at Harvard University, the Summer Games are the culmination of SOMA sports events that are held throughout the spring. Bank of America continues to serve as lead sponsor of one of the Summer Games' largest sports aquatics, which saw more than 700 athletes participating. Many employees volunteer for both School Day Games and Summer Games are associated with the bank's Boston Disability Action Network (DAN) chapter.



"We are grateful to Bank of America for their partnership. School Day Games and Summer Games are crucial initiatives to spread our mission of respect, inclusion, and opportunity in schools throughout Massachusetts," said Mary Beth McMahon the CEO and President of Special Olympics Massachusetts. "Bank of America's history of support has had a huge impact in helping this mission reach thousands of students."
